@Jon, great review well done, great pointers, good editing and very easy to
listen, to the point.
I’m looking to buy an older model on craigslist and this helps me a lot
making the decision and understanding what I can do to make this bike feel
better. It will be my first folding. We’re getting a folding bike as a back
up for when our bike brake down so we don’t have to spend on bus and have a
longer commute (we had some major issues and with our busy life and the
fact our “repair shop” is our packing spot in the basement garage it can
take a few days some times weeks if we have to order parts to repair our
bike). We don’t have room in our small condo for 3rd bike as a spare. It’s
also great for picking up a car2go or to mix car2go and biking when you
can’t bike to or back from work one day. We’ve look at the Free2Go small
bike rack that fit good on the car2go but we learned that the company
(car2go) doesn’t allow it. 🙁

So all and all we ended with this solution and hope we see other use for
the folding spare bike. It can be a great bike for or visitor too. ﻿

Hi I bought this bike a few days ago and noticed the handlebar and stem are
welded. My problem is the bike is 5º-10º left offset to the front wheel.
Had the handlebar been attached to the stem via the conventional bolts, it
would have been an easy fix through simple twist. But because this is
welded to the stem/post, I don’t know if the stem can be adjusted at the
local bike shop to align with the front wheel and remove the offset?

Dahon has a 21 inch seat post with a pump built in, if it is smaller the
your hole you can get shim’s. downtube; sells seat post as well. e-bay has
folding handle bar stems that are nice. any how if you could tell me if the
front chain ring can be as large as a 52 that would be great. thank you

hey jonnyGURU, what FSA crankset did you use? I need to replace the
crankest on mine but it appears to be a 165mm crankset… does FSA make
one? I’d love to see a follow up video if you get around to it!

thanks for this review. could you post the brands of the parts that you
would recommend as replacements for the parts that can be replaced to make
the bike lighter, pls find the cheapest ones that of course are not trash.
Thanks.

Good news! The Nitto 460MM seatpost has a lower minimum insertion mark than
the stock steel post. The result is you can have the Nitto seatpost maxed
out height wise (if you’re 6’3″) and not lose any height over the stock
seat post!

@jonnyGURU How is that going for you? I’m looking forward to seeing this
video. I hope you’ll also include information about where you got them as
well. I just ordered this off amazon for $250, but I’m sure that with
biking season being here it wasn’t gonna drop in price anytime soon so i
took the plunge on the price.
